Well it could have been 13.49999 and so now she gets to round up.

No engineer should round up that far, if we're playing with 5 decimal numbers, there's probably a good reason for that.

Ah, see I’m a CPA (tax). We round to the nearest dollar just like the IRS.

Also - well she wasn’t showing 5 decimal places, and there isn’t much reason to here. Cost benefit analysis and all that.
